The ordinance amendments as proposed do not accomplish the
following:
1) Reduce landscaping requrements or attempt to differentiate
requirements for commer ial property versus industrial property.
2) Ordinance amendment does not establish firm criteria for
deciding which developm nts will be allowed to phase
installation of landsca ing over a three year period.
Dale Lungwitz didn't agree Jeff O'Neill's conclusion of
the joint meeting but expressed from his precept ion the
conclusion was to consider separation of the permitted exterior
building structure material for industrial and commerical
businesses and to consider separation of the landscaping
requirements for the industial and commerical businesses,
with less requirements for umber of two inch trees (six
inches above ground) for in us trial businesses and the
flexibility of staff to wor with each individual company
to phase-in over three years. The IDC made no further
recommendations. Chairperso Johnson thanked Rich Carlson
for his time given to the IDC, and Rich expressed his
thanks to the IDC and the H for their input.
